Practical  Products 


Our  experience  in  buying-  from  others  has  taught  us  respect  and  confidence  for 
old,  established,  experienced  business  concerns  with  a reputation  for  manufacturing 
high-grade  products.  When  the  salesmen  from  these  institutions  call  on  us,  there 
remain  but  two  things  for  us  to  consider:  “Do  we  need  the  merchandise?”  and  “Is 
the  price  right?”  We  know  there  is  no  need  to  question  the  quality  of  the  goods 
nor  the  business  fairness  of  the  firm.  Concerns  that  do  not  manufacture  standard 
goods  nor  treat  their  customers  fairly,  seldom  remain  in  busii^^yt^-tml-yr-^ive  or 

thirty  years.  COLUMBIA  UNIVERSITY 

In  asking  to  serve  you,  we  feel  that  you  are  entitled  to  know  something  about 
our  products  and  our  company.  We  are  in  our  thirty-fourth  year  of  clay  manufac- 
turing. The  managers  in  control  and  the  employees  in  the  important  positions  have, 
through  hard  work  and  a diligent  study  of  clay  and  its  uses,  been  promoted  from 
minor  positions.  These  men  are  clay  experts.  Old  machinery  has  been  changed 
promptly  for  modern  and  more  efficient  machinery. 


Realizing  that  to  succeed  we  must  produce  standard  products  meeting  all  the 
requirements  applying  to  each  product,  it  has  always  been  our  ambition  to  make 
the  name  Macomb  the  standard  by  which  all  clay  products  should  be  measured. 

The  successful  clay  manufacturer  must  not  only  know  the  proper  materials  to 
use,  but  he  must  possess  the  knowledge  necessary  to  properly  blend  and  mix  the 
several  grades  of  the  raw  material.  Then  comes  the  important  feature  of  burning, 
vitrifying  and  glazing  the  clay,  to  make  it  the  most  durable  material  known. 

Our  organization  couples  long  experience  and  reliability  with  modern  methods 
and  practical  products.  We  not  only  claim  to  produce  superior  Olay  products, 
because  of  manufacturing  experience,  but  are  also  producing  materials  which  are 
practical  and  economical,  because  they  embody  the  newest  features  of  design  and 
utility. 


Macomb  Vitrified  Salt  Glazed  Hollow  Building  Tile  is  one  of  our  most  practical 
products.  Our  Hollow  Building  Tile  is  especially  well  adapted  to  the  uses  we  sug- 
gest because  of  rapid  construction,  durability,  economy  of  upkeep,  and  appearance. 
This  book  will  show  you  where  it  is  to  your  advantage  and  profit  to  use  it  in  your 
buildings. 

Sincerely  yours,

Permanent  Buildings  Preferred 

Everyone  at  all  in  touch  with  the  building  material  market  is  aware  of  the  shortage 
of  good  lumber  and  its  high  price  and  the  high  cost  of  many  other  building  materials  and 
of  labor.  The  increased  upkeep  expense,  due  to  the  high  cost  of  paint  and  other  items  used 
to  repair  non-permanent  buildings,  is  equally  evident. 

All  these  are  involved  in  the  growing  demand  for  farm  buildings  of  permanent  con- 
struction, that  can  be  built  at  an  economical  expense,  using  materials  which  do  not  require 
continual  repairs  and  even  replacement. 

Every  wide  awake,  progressive  farmer  knows  that  permanent  buildings  are  an  invest- 
ment that  will  pay  dividends.  He  knows  that  a substantial,  permanent  barn,  hog  house, 
milk  house,  poultry  house  or  other  farm  building,  increases  the  value  of  the  property  and 
insures  greater  efficiency  in  its  operation.  Ele  knows  that  better  housing  conditions  for  his 
live  stock  and  poultry  mean  better  results  and  more  revenue.  He  has  learned  that  the 
depreciation  of  other  than  permanent  buildings  is  a waste  which  can  and  should  be  elim- 
inated. • | 

To  meet  this  demand  we  have  designed  and  perfected  a Vitrified  Salt  Glazed  Build- 
ing Block,  especially  adapted  for  Farm  Buildings. 

Macomb  Vitrified  Salt  Glazed  Hollow  Tile  is  the  most  permanent,  practical  building 
material  known.  It  is  permanent,  yet  alterations  may  be  made  or  additions  built  on  as 
quickly  as  with  any  other  material.  There  will  be  no  cracks  or  gaping  joints  between  the 
old  structure  and  the  new.  All  the  walls  will  be  wind,  moisture,  dust,  frost  and  vermin 
proof.  This  is  an  extremely  valuable  consideration. 

Mold,  dry  rot,  moisture,  rust,  acids,  heat  and  cold  have  no  power  to  destroy  Macomb 
Vitrified  Salt  Glazed  Hollow  Tile.  Every  atom  of  perishable  vegetable,  animal  or  mineral 
matter  perishes  in  the  fierce,  intense  and  sustained  heat  necessary  to  burn,  vitrify  and  glaze 
the  blocks.  They  will  remain  just  as  they  are  through  years  and  generations,  whether 
placed  above  or  below  ground.  g

Chute  and  Barn  built  from  Macomb  Vitrified  Salt  Glazed  Hollow  Tile  Silo  and  Building  Blocks  should 
appeal  to  every  farmer  as  the  ideal  and  at  the  same  time  most  practical  and  everlasting  improvement 
obtainable.

Pests  and  vermin  exact  a 
loss  far  in  excess  of  the  amount 
ordinarily  calculated  on.  It  is 
estimated  that  200,000,000  rats 
infest  America,  150,000,000  liv-

more  than  the  total  fire  loss  in

Animals  and  people  both  enjoy  living  in  a building  which  is  degrees  cooler  in 
summer  than  the  outside ' sweltering  atmosphere.  The  warm  building  is  equally 
prized  in  winter.  Vitrified  Hollow  Tile  walls  are  wind  proof  and,  because  of  the 
four  walls  and  dead  air  insulation  in  the  hollow  spaces  between,  the  walls  are  cool 
in  summer  and  warm  in  winter. 

The  blocks  are  large  and  lay  up  rapidly  lending  an  attractive  appearance  to 
the  completed  building.  There  is  a variation  in  the  coloring  of  the  blocks  which 
results  in  a pleasing  effect  in  the  completed  wall. 

We  have  furnished  these  Blocks  for  many  Farm  and  City  buildings  of  all 
kinds,  and  find  that  they  meet  the  requirements  admirably.

Build  All  Permanent  Structures  With  Glazed  Tile  Building  Blocks; 
They  Defy  Decay  and  Cancel  Future  Repair  Bills 

There  are  some  features  in  farm  buildings  which 

are  more  than  desirable;  they  are  vital,  necessary 
and  essential.  They  are:  Cleanliness,  Sanitation, 
Ventilation,  Coolness  in  Summer,  Warmth  in  Win- 
ter, Dryness,  Inaccessible  to  pests  and  vermin,  De- 
cay Proof,  Pleasing  Appearance,  Reasonably  Low 
First  Cost,  Low  Cost  of  Upkeep.  No  other  mate- 
rial supplies  these  essential  features  so  fully  as  our 
Vitrified  Glazed  Clay  Hollow  Building  Blocks.

While  we  claim  that  our  Vitrified  Glazed  Clay  Hollow  Building 
Blocks  are  the  best  material  for  permanent  Farm-  Construction,  we 
do  not  limit  their  value  to  farm  uses.  They  are  just  as  attractive 
for  town  and  city.

The  ends  of  Joists  are  set

4 inches  thick  (4x8x16)  is 
used  at  outside  end  of  joist. 
The  space  between  joists  is 
filled  with  4-inch  blocks  or 
bricks.  If  joists  carry  heavy 
load,  corner  blocks  filled 
'with  concrete  can  be  used 
under  ends  of  joists,  to  pro- 
vide better  bearing  and  in-

The  Permanent  Building  Material 


The  cut  at  the  right  illustrates  our  Macomb  Vitrified 
Salt-Glazed  Building  Block,  designed  particularly  for  Farm 
Buildings.  It  is  a nearly  perfect  building  material,  brought 
out  after  an  exhaustive  study  of  the  requirements  for  farm 
buildings,  and  into  its  manufacture  have  gone  the  results 
of  our  thirty-four  years’  experience  in  the  manufacture  of 
Clay  Products.

ar  joints.  This  double  wall  forms  a 
broad  base  on  which  the  mortar  is 
spread,  and  when  the  end  of  the  next 
block  is  pushed  up  against  it,  a 
clinched,  tongue  and  groove  joint,  ab- 
solutely air-tight  and  water-tight,  is 
formed. 

This  block  is  made  Vitrified  and 
Glazed.  The  top  and  bottom  of  the 
block  are  scored  to  hold  the  mortar, 
and  the  faces  of  the  tile  are  smooth 
for  both  the  inside  and  outside  face 
of  the  wall,  except  where  it  is  desired 
to  plaster  the  inside  of  the  building, 
in  which  case  the  blocks  are  scored 
for  plastering  on  the  inside  of  the 
wall.  This  Vitrified  Glazed  Block  is 
impervious  to  moisture,  will  not  ab- 
sorb water,  and  makes  a permanent 
wall. 


The  design  of  the  block  gives  it  extra  strength,  and  a Vitrified  Block  will  carry 
a greater  weight  than  one  that  is  simply  hard  burned. 

We  make  this  block  for  two  thicknesses  of  wall,  G inches  and  8 inches.  The 
6-incli  wall  is  used  for  small  one-storv  buildings,  such  as  hog  houses,  poultry 
houses,  milk  rooms,  etc.;  for  barns  and  larger  buildings,  the  8-inch  wall  is  used. 
Where  a building  requires  an  extra  weight  to  be  carried  on  the  walls,  piers  or 
pilasters  can  be  easily  constructed  out  of  the  tile  itself,  making  a wall  strong  enough 
to  carry  practically  any  building.

Macomb  Hollow  Tile  Buildings  Are  Sanitary 

The  United  States  Government  is  conducting  an  educational  campaign  for  bet- 
ter health  conditions  on  the  farm.  One  of  the'  health  menaces  the  Government  is 
fighting  is  dirty  milk.  The  sanitary  features  of  our  Macomb  Vitrified  Glazed  Block 
is  one  of  its  big  advantages,  especially  for  dairy  buildings.  The  Vitrified  Glazed 
Tile  cannot  absorb  odors,  the  smooth  Glazed  face  of  the  tile  and  the  tight  mortar 
joints  leaves  no  rough  surfaces  to  collect  dust,  and  no  cracks  or  crevices  in  which 
dirt  or  filth  can  lodge.  In  stables,  milk  rooms,  etc.,  the  smooth  glazed  surface  of 
the  tile  wall  may  be  washed  down  at  intervals,  and  kept  clean.  Our  Macomb  Build- 
ing Blocks  were  designed  for  sanitary  as  well  as  permanent  buildings. 

Ventilation 

Proper  ventilation  is  necessary  in  all  buildings  housing  live  stock.  This  ven- 
tilation is  provided  for  in  Hollow  Tile  buildings,  by  building  fresh-air  inlets  into 
the  tile  wall,  admitting  plenty  of  pure,  fresh  air  without  allowing  dangerous  drafts. 

See  page  32. 

A Building  Material  For  All  Purposes 

The  Macomb  Glazed  Building  Block  readily  lends  itself  to  all  kinds  of  struc- 
tures. No  building  too  large — none  too  small. 

If  you  plan  to  build  a barn,  milk  house,  hog  house,  garage  or  any  kind  of  farm 
building,  residence,  store,  warehouse  or  public  garage  building,  you  should  get  prices 
on  this  permanent  building  material,  and  compare  with  other  construction. 

Send  for  a sample  of  our  Block,  which  we  will  be  glad  to  forward  to  you  free 
of  charge;  examine  the  texture  of  the  Block,  how  thoroughly  it  is  vitrified,  and 
the  smooth,  glazed  surface;  compare  it  with  other  building  materials,  and  even  with 
other  grades  of  hollow  tile,  and  you  will  appreciate  why  we  state  so  positively  that

Dairy  Barns 


Increased  prices  for  dairy  products  lias  caused  a corresponding  increase  in 
dairy  farming.  It  is  also  responsible  for  a much  better  grade  of  cattle  on  the  aver- 
age farm.  Better  cattle  necessitate  better  care  and  better  housing  conditions. 

You  cannot  select  a better  material  for  your  dairy  barn  than  Macomb  Vitrified 
Glazed  Building  Blocks.  They  will  give  you  a permanent,  attractive,  sanitary  struc- 
ture, and  will  relieve  you  of  all  expense  for  repairs,  painting  and  maintenance. 

Cows  will  keep  in  better  condition,  require  less  feed,  and  produce  more  milk 
in  a dry,  well  lighted  and  well  ventilated  building  which  is  warm  in  winter  and 
cool  in  summer,  than  they  will  when  given  less  careful  protection  and  housing  com- 
fort. The  hollow  air  spaces  in  the  tile  wall  provide  an  even  temperature  and  shut 
out  the  cold  and  dampness  during  winter  weather.  Proper  ventilation  is  easily  ar- 
ranged by  our  system  of  fresh  air  inlets  built  into  the  tile  wall,  providing  plenty 
of  fresh  air.  Plenty  of  windows  should  be  provided  to  admit  an  abundance  of  sun- 
light on  winter  days. 

The  smooth  Glazed  surface  of  the  tile  wall  provides- the  best  possible  sanitary 
condition,  and  allows  the  most  scrupulous  cleanliness.  With  a stable  and  milk  room 
built  of  Macomb  Glazed  Blocks,  no  dairyman  will  have  any  difficulty  in  complying 
with  the  most  stringent  rules  of  sanitation  and  cleanliness  laid  down  by  any  board 
of  health  or  inspector  under  whose  supervision  he  may  market  his  milk  or  cream. 

The  buildings  illustrated  in  this  booklet  are  only  a few  of  those  which  have 
been  built  of  our  Vitrified  Salt  Glazed  Hollow  Tile.  We  have  a number  of  stand- 
ard plans  for  barn  buildings,  and  for  the  interior  arrangement  of  dairy  and  beef 
cattle  barns,  many  of  them  prepared  by  experts  of  the  different  agricultural  col- 
leges, and  by  others  who  have  given  considerable  study  to  the  subject,  as  well  as 
men  of  practical  experience.  Write  us  what  kind  of  a building  you  want,  and  we 
may  have  a plan  that  will  suit  your  needs,  or  if  not  we  will  help  you  plan  a building 
that  will  be  satisfactory.

Cost  of  Farm  Buildings 


In  figuring  the  cost  of 
any  farm  building  that 
you  may  be  planning*,  you 
should  take  into  consid- 
eration the  length  of  life 
of  the  building  and  the 
necessary  repairs,  cost  of 
painting  and  keeping  the 
building  in  good  service- 
able condition,  as  well  as 
the  first  cost. 

To  make  a comparison, 
take  the  first  cost  of  the 
building  of  each  construc-

consideration  ; e s 1 1 m a t e 

the  number  of  years  that  you  can  expect  each  to  last,  and  the  cost  of  repairs,  painting,  and 
expense  that  you  will  probably  have  to  put  on  the  building  during  that  time;  add  these 
items  to  the  first  cost  and  divide  this  total  by  the  number  of  years’  service  that  you  will 
get  out  of  each.  This  will  give  you  the  cost  per  year  for  a building  of  each  class  and  the 
cost  per  year  of  service  is  really  the  vital  question.  You  will  find  that  the  cost  per  year 
of  service  from  a building  of  Macomb  Vitrified  Building  Blocks  will  be  less  than  any  other 
construction. 


The  average  cost  per  year  of  service  is  the  only  true  measure  of  the  cost  of  a build- 
ing. Everlasting  Vitrified  Salt  Glazed  Hollow  Tile  is  lowest  in  cost  because  longest  in  life 
without  upkeep  expense.

Cattle  Feeding  Sheds 

Many  cattlemen  like  open  feeding  sheds,  where  the  stock  may  be  fed  in  the  day  time, 
when  the  weather  permits  the  cattle  being  out  of  doors  during  the  winter.  Macomb  Build- 
ing Blocks  make  tbe  finest  kind  of  a building  for  this  purpose. 


Here  is  one  that  has  been  built  by  W.  D.  Corbin,  of  Merwin,  Missouri.  The  open  side, 
of  course,  faces  the  south,  so  that  the  sun  warms  up  the  interior.  The  tile  wralls  effectually 
shut  off  the  winds  from  the  other  directions,  and  provides  ample  protection  during  ordi- 
nary weather,  allowing  stock  to  get  out  of  the  barn  for  several  hours  during  the  day  to 
obtain  a healthful  airing  and  exercise.  See  detail  on  page  31,  showing  how  columns  are 
made.

Milk  H ouses 

One  of  the  most  important  buildings  on  a dairy  farm  is  the  dairy  house,  or 
milk  house.  It  is  generally  desirable  to  have  the  milk  room  located  in  a separate 
building,  outside  the  barn  and  stables,  although  the  dairy  house  is  frequently  con- 
nected with  the  barn  by  a passageway,  thus  avoiding  the  necessity  of  going  out  of 
doors  in  passing  from  the  barn  to  the  milk  house. 

The  milk  house  should  be  located  on  that  side  of  the  barn  from  which  the  pre- 
vailing winds  blow — that  is,  so  that  the  prevailing  winds  will  blow  stable  odors 
away  from  the  milk  house  instead  of  toward  it.  When  the  two  buildings  are  con- 
nected by  a passageway,  there  should  be  a door  at  each  end  of  this  passageway  to 
shut  out  all  barn  odors  from  the  milk  room. 

This  is  the  age  of  quality.  Good  products  bring  good  prices.  Good  milk  or 
cream  must  be  handled  in  a sanitary  milk  house.  Macomb  Glazed  Blocks  meet  the 
requirements.  The  Vitrified  Clay  cannot  absorb  moisture  or  odors;  the  tight  joints 
leave  no  cracks  where  germs  or  dirt  can  find  lodgment,  and  the  smooth  Glazed 
surface  of  the  wall  can  be  washed  down  daily  or  as  often  as  necessary,  keeping 
them  absolutely  clean  and  sanitary.  A building  of  our  material  will  easily  comply 
with  the  rules  of  any  health  department  or  of  any  other  official  under  whose  super- 
vision milk  is  marketed. 

Arrangement  of  Milk  House 

The  principal  purpose  of  building  a dairy  house  is  to  provide  a place  where 
the  dairy  products  can  be  handled  apart  from  anything  else.  To  carry  out  this 
idea  it  is  necessary  to  divide  the  interior  of  the  building  so  that  the  utensils  do  not 
have  to  be  washed  in  the  room  where  the  milk  is  handled.  For  the  complete  sterili- 
zation of  utensils  an  abundance  of  hot  water  or  steam  is  necessary;  a pail  or  can 
may  appear  to  be  clean  and  still  contain  numerous  bacteria  which  will  hasten  the 
souring  of  the  milk.  After  the  utensils  are  thoroughly  cleaned  they  should  be  either 
scalded  with  boiling  water  or  steamed.  In  some  markets  the  health  authorities 
require  that  all  bottles  and  cans  be  sterilized  by  a steam  jet.  This  necessitates  that 
a third  room  be  provided  for  a boiler  room,  and  the  partition  wall  of  the  boiler 
room  should  be  of  building  blocks  to  shut  off  the  heat  from  the  other  rooms. 

We  are  illustrating,  on  the  opposite  page,  an  arrangement  for  dairy  house  as 
recommended  by  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture. 

Doors  should  be  located  so  as  to  avoid  the  danger  of  drafts  through  the  milk 
room;  this  helps  to  maintain  an  even  temperature.  Plenty  of  windows  should  be 
placed  so  as  to  admit  sunlight  and  fresh  air.  Ventilators  in  the  roof  are  desirable, 
to  keep  the  air  in  the  milk  room  fresh  and  free  from  odors,  and  to  carry  away  steam 
from  the  wash  room. 

A plentiful  supply  of  cold  running  water  should  be  provided  if  possible,  as  the 
dairyman  can  ill  afford  to  spend  his  time  carrying  water  for  cooling  the  milk  and 
washing  utensils.

Plan  For  Milk  House 

The  floor  of  the  milk  house  should  be  preferably  of  glazed  tile,  or  at  least  tile 
underneath  with  a coating  of  concrete  on  top,  to  guard  against  dampness.  The  floor 
should  slope  to  a tile  drain,  to  carry  away  water  from  flushing  the  floor.  This  drain 
should  also  be  connected  to  the  cooling  tank,  to  carry  away  surplus  water  and  to 
provide  for  draining  and  cleaning  the  tank. 

It  is  not  possible  to  plan  a dairy  house  that  will  suit  all  conditions,  but  the  one 
shown  has  been  designed  by  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture  to  meet 
the  needs  of  the  average  dairy  that  ships  either  milk  or  cream.  This  plan  is  capable 
of  considerable  variation  to  adapt  it  for  individual  uses.  For  larger  dairies  the 
same  plan  may  be  used  on  a larger  scale,  each  room  being  increased  in  size  as  may 
be  necessary.

Manure  Pits 

Farmers  are  coming  more  and  more  to  realize  the  importance  of  saving  manure 
and  not  allowing  any  of  it  to  go  to  waste.  A manure  pit  is  the  best  way  to  keep 
manure  and  not  allow  it  to  be  blown  or  washed  awray,  or  lost  through  leaching  by 
rain  or  snow. 

Vitrified  Building  Blocks  will  make  a good  manure  pit,  easily  and  quickly  built. 
Only  a small  number  of  blocks  are  required.  Order  a few’  extra  blocks  for  this 
purpose  when  you  are  purchasing  material  for  other  farm  buildings.

Ice  Houses 

It  is  often  found  convenient  to  combine  the  ice  house  and  the  milk  house  into 


An  ample  supply  of  ice  is  of  greater 
economic  importance  in  the  country  than  in 
the  city. 

Not  only  is  ice  appreciated  for  the  preser- 
vation of  fresh  meats,  butter  and  other  table 
supplies,  but  the  production  of  high-grade 
domestic  dairy  products  is  almost  impossible 
without  it.  Many  markets  to  which  milk  is 
now  shipped  demand  that  it  be  cooled,  before 
shipping,  to  a degree  not  attainable  without 
the  use  of  ice.  In  a cold  climate  the  cost  of 
harvesting  and  storing  is  not  great  compared

Arrangement  of  the  Ice  House 

An  ice  house  should  be  built  nearly  square,  in  order  to  keep  the  ice  in  as  com- 
pact a body  as  possible.  The  cakes  should  be  packed  close  together,  to  avoid  cir- 
culation of  air  through  the  mass.  Opinion  is  divided  as  to  the  necessity  or  advan- 
tage of  a ventilator  in  the  roof,  when  the  walls  are  built  of  Glazed  Tile.  An  open- 
ing for  ventilation  may  be  provided  if  desired. 

The  floor  of  the  ice  house  should  be  built  of  4-inch  hollow  tile  with  a layer  of 
concrete  2 inches  thick  on  top  of  the  tile.  This  will  keep  the  floor  dry  and  prevent 
its  absorbing  moisture. 

A tile  drain  is  best,  with  a trap  to  prevent  warm  air  entering  the  building.  The 
floor  should  be  sloped  from  all  directions  toward  a drain,  so  that  all  water  from 
the  melting  ice  will  run  off  easily. 

A building  of  Macomb  Vitrified  Glazed  Blocks  makes  a splendid  ice  house. 

The  advantage  of  using  hollow  tile  for  the  walls  of  an  ice  house  will  be  easily 
apparent,  as  the  hollow  air  spaces  in  the  tile  provide  the  best  kind  of  insulation 
and  keeps  the  ice  from  melting.  The  tile  should  be  Vitrified  and  Glazed,  so  that 
it  will  not  absorb  moisture  from  the  melting  ice. 

Capacity  of  Ice  Houses 

For  the  cooling  of  cream,  figures  compiled  by  the  United  States  Department  of 
Agriculture  show  that  about  1,000  pounds  of  ice  are  required  per  year  for  cooling 
the  cream  from  each  cow,  and  keeping  the  cream  in  good  condition  until  delivered 
to  the  creamery.  Thus  for  a twenty-cow  dairy  it  would  require  ten  tons  of  ice,  if 
the  cream  alone  is  to  be  cooled.  For  cooling  the  whole  milk,  two  and  one-half  or 
three  times  as  much  ice  is  required,  or  about  one  and  one-half  tons  of  ice  per  cow. 
From  forty  to  fifty  cubic  feet  are  required  for  storing  a ton  of  packed  ice,  conse- 
quently for  ten  tons  of  ice  about  500  cubic  feet  of  space  is  required.  To  this  should 
be  added  the  quantity  of  ice  needed  for  domestic  use,  and  the  total  quantity  in- 
creased by  about  15  per  cent  to  allow  for  melting.  In  an  ice  house  built  of  Dickey 
Blocks,  the  loss  from  melting  should  not,  under  most  adverse  conditions,  run  higher 
than  15  per  cent. 

The  ice  house  should  be  located  close  to  the  milk  house,  so  that  ice  will  not  have 
to  be  carried  far,  and  so  that  the  same  drain  can  be  conveniently  connected  to  both 
buildings. 


Corn  Cribs  and  Granaries 

Vitrified  Glazed  Building  Blocks  will  make  you  a good  serviceable  granary  or 
corn  crib,  a building  that  is  permanent  and  fireproof,  and  that  will  keep  the  rats  and 
mice  out  of  the  grain.  The  grain  will  not  stick  to  the  smooth,  glazed  wall  surface,  and 
any  kind  of  grain  will  be  kept  in  perfect  condition.  The  glazed  hollow  blocks  can 
be  used  for  the  floor  of  bins  and  cribs  as  well  as  for  the  side  walls,  keeping  out  the 
rats  and  mice  from  all  directions.  It  is  easy  to  sweep  out  a bin  having  this  smooth 
glazed  surface  on  all  sides,  keeping  it  absolutely  clean. 

A square  building  like  the  cut  on  opposite  page  makes  the  finest  kind  of  a double 
corn  crib,  with  driveway  through  center.  The  inside  wall  of  each  crib,  next  to  the 
driveway,  may  be  built  of  open  slat  work,  allowing  plenty  of  air  for  the  curing  of 
corn  that  is  not  entirely  dry.  By  giving  the  roof  a steep  pitch,  or  making  the  side 
walls  a little  higher,  room  may  be  provided  for  additional  bins  above  the  driveway, 

| for  small  grains  or  additional  corn  storage.  Mechanical  elevators  may  be  installed  in 
the  driveways,  to  hoist  the  grain  into  the  bins,  and  save  shoveling.  In  winter  the 
driveway  space  may  be  used  for  storing  wagons  or  implements  if  desired

Hog  Houses 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  Bulletin  of  the  Iowa  Agricultural  College  on 
this  subject: 

“Proper  housing  is  essential  in  profitable  swine  production.  The  largest  financial 
returns  are  obtained  only  when  dry,  sanitary,  comfortable  and  convenient  housing 
conditions  are  provided.  It  is  a mistake  to  think  the  hog  does  not  need  to  be  pro- 
tected from  the  weather.  Having  been  originally  a native  of  comparatively  warm 
climates,  nature  has  not  provided  the  hog  with  much  in  the  way  of  protective  cover- 
ing. It  is  true  it  has  layers  of  fat,  when  it  is  fat,  which  offer  protection,  but  there 
is  not  the  thick  coat  of  hair  or  wool  with  which  other  farm  animals  are  provided. 
Again,  it  is  recognized  that  the  best  way  to  guard  against  the  ravages  of  disease  is 
to  provide  sanitary  conditions.  These  Considerations,  together  with  the  possibility 
of  saving  much  labor  in  a well  planned  house  over  a poorly  planned  one,  makes  it  im- 
portant to  give  much  thought  and  study  to  the  problem  of  housing  swine. 

The  Essentials  of  an  Ideal  Hog  House 

“The  successful  and  satisfactory  house  for  hogs  should  in  general  fill  these  re- 
quirements: 

1.  Warmth.  Reasonably  warm  shelter,  in  season,  with  smallest  ranges  of  tem- 
perature, is  demanded  by  swine  if  best  results  in  health  and  profits  are  to  be  counted 
on. 

2.  Dryness.  A dry,  well-drained  floor  and  dry,  tight  roof  and  walls  are  quite 
essential.  Masonry  construction  which  provides  for  hollow  air  space  commends  itself. 

3.  Abundance  of  Light  and  Direct  Sunlight.  Direct  sunlight  should  some  time 
strike  every  part  of  the  interior  of  the  house  daily,  especially  the  floors  of  the  pens  in 
the  special  farrowing  months  of  February,  March  and  April. 

4.  Ventilation.  An  abundance  of  fresh,  pure  air  of  satisfactory  humidity,  pro- 
vided without  draft,  is  demanded. 

5.  Sanitation.  The  cleaning  and  disinfecting  of  the  hog  house  is  imperative; 
clean,  dustless  floors  encourage  healthfulness,  especially  as  the  hog  always  breathes, 
eats  and  drinks  close  to  the  ground. 

6.  Durability.  In  general,  that  building  givingthe  longest  continuous  service  is 
the  most  valuable. 

7.  Reasonably  Low  First  Cost.  Consistent  with  the  service  rendered,  the  initial 
cost  per  pen  should  be  kept  low. 

8.  Minimum  Cost  of  Maintenance.  A maximum  of  satisfactory  service  for  the 
lowest  possible  upkeep  charges,  is  the  ideal. 

9.  Pleasing  Appearance.  To  harmonize  with  the  general  agricultural  surround- 
ings; to  be  neat  in  architectural  design,  and  to  be  sensible  in  construction,  are  the 
three  leading  considerations  in  planning  for  the  attractiveness  of  the  hog  house.”

Our  Building  Blocks  Meet  the  Requirements 

Our  Macomb  Vitrified  Glazed  Building  Blocks  answer  these  requirements  fully 
as  a material  for  hog  house  buildings,  and  in  addition  the  smooth  glazed  surface 
of  the  tile  makes  it  the  most  sanitary  material  that  can  he  used,  as  this  smooth 
surface  is  easily  washed  down  and  kept  clean. 

Proper  ventilation  is  provided  by  the  fresh  air  inlets  built  into  the  tile  wallfj. 

The  hollow  air  spaces  in  the  tile  wall  make  the  building  warmer  than  any  other 
construction,  thus  making  it  possible  to  have  the  sows  farrow  earlier  in  the  spring, 
give  the  pigs  a good  start  and  prepare  them  for  the  early  fall  market.  Early  March 
pigs  are  large  enough  to  eat  as  soon  as  the  pasture  is  ready,  and  thus  get  the  longest 
possible  pasture  season.  They  can  be  kept  on  pasture  until  nearly  ready  for  market, 
and  not  only  make  more  use  of  pasture  than  is  possible  for  later  pigs,  but  also  make 
more  economical  use  of  all  feed  because  they  are  finished  for  market  before  cold 
weather  sets  in,  when  gains  are  more  expensive. 

/ 

There  is  also  a big  market  advantage  in  early  pigs;  for  instance,  on  the  Omaha 
market  during  the  past  ten  years  the  October  price  has  averaged  58  cents  per  100 
higher  than  the  price  for  December. 

Types  of  Hog  Houses 

Probably  the  most  popular  type  of  hog  house  is  that  commonly  known  as  the 
Iowa  Sunlit  House,  which  has  a double  slope  roof  with  the  ridge  pole  running  north 
and  south,  and  a continuous  row  of  windows  along  each  side  of  the  roof,  from  one  end 
of  the  building  to  the  other.  This  makes  it  possible  for  the  sun’s  rays  to  shine  direct-, 
ly  on  every  portion  of  the  floor  and  side  walls,  at  some  time  during  the  day,  as  illus- 
trated in  the  diagram  on  the  opposite  page.  One  of  the  most  effective  sanitary 
agents  is  direct  sunlight,  and  it  is  for  this  reason  that  so  much  emphasis  is.  placed  on 
the  merits  of  this  style  of  house.  While  the  sun  cannot  shine  in  both  pens  at  once,  ex- 
perience has  shown  that  the  house  is  so  thoroughly  flooded  with  light  as  to  make  liv- 
ing conditions  highly  satisfactory.

the  west  row  of  pens  from 
9:00  a.  m.  to  1:00  p.  m. 
Direct  sunlight  shines  into 
the  east  pens  for  a corres- 
ponding period  during  the 
afternoon.

Half-Monitor  Type  Hog  House 


Diagram  showing  angle  of  sun’s  rays  on  March  1st,  and  position  in  which  sunlight 
= • — 
strikes  floor  of  pens  at  10:00  a.  m.  and  again  at  2:00  p.  m. 

The  Half-Monitor  type  of  hog  house  is  used  extensively.  This  house  runs  east 
and  west,  and  has  two  rows  of  windows,  one  row  of  windows  lighting  each  row  of 
pens.  This  style  of  building  is  liked  particularly  for  early  farrowing,  because  the  upper 
row  of  windows  may  be  placed  at  proper  height  to  throw  the  sun’s  rays  into  the  nests 
of  the  north  row  of  pens,  at  the  farrowing  season.  For  example,  in  a hog  house  20 
feet  wide,  located  anywhere  in  the  latitude  of  Kansas  or  Missouri,  if  the  sows  are 
to  farrow  March  1st,  the  top  of  the  windows  should  be  10  feet  6 inches  from  the  floor, 
in  order  to  have  the  sun’s  rays  strike  the  nests,  as  shown  in  the  diagram  on  this 
page.  This  height  of  course  varies  with  the  date  of  farrowing,  with  the  width  of 
the  building,  and  will  also  vary  with  the  latitude. 

Floors 

The  floor  of  a hog  house,  being  naturally  the  bed  of  the  hog,  must  receive  careful 
consideration.  AYe  recommend  using  a hollow  tile  floor  4 inches  thick,  with  from  1 
inch  to  1 x/-2  inches  of  concrete  on  top  of  the  tile.  The  hollow  air  space  in  the  tile 
floor  prevents  moisture  being  carried  up  through  the  floor  and  prevents  heat  from  the 
body  of  the  hog  passing  down  through  the  floor,  thus  providing  the  dryness  and 
warmth  so  necessary  for  the  comfort  and  health  of  the  hog,  and  making  the  best  pos- 
sible bed  for  the  young  pigs. 

The  cost  of  a floor  of  this  pattern  will  compare  favorably  with  any  other  type, 

| and  is  serviceable  and  permanent.

Interior  Arrangement  of  Hog  Houses 

The  interior  arrangement  of  the  hog  house,  size  of  pens,  width  of  alley,  location  of 
doors,  etc.,  of  course  is  a matter  of  individual  requirements  and  depends  largely  on 
how  the  owner  handles  and  cares  for  his  hogs.  We  have  a number  of  ideas  and  sug- 
gestions on  this  subject,  obtained  from  men  who  have  worked  out  plans  which  they 
like  particularly  well;  some  of  these  may  work  in  with  your  ideas,  and  we  will  be  glad 
to  have  you  write  us  fully  on  this  subject.

Vegetable  Storage  Houses,  or  “Caves” 

The  finest  kind  of  a storehouse  for  keeping  vegetables  can  be  built  of  Macomb 
Vitrified  Glazed  Building  Blocks.  A building  of  this  material  will  keep  vegetables 
and  fruits  in  the  best  of  condition,  both  during  warm  fall  weather  and  during  cold 
winter  weather;  the  hollow  air  spaces  in  the  tile  walls  keep  the  walls  dry,  and  main- 
tain an  even  temperature  inside  the  building.  Ventilation  may  be  provided  to  carry 
off  the  moisture  and  heat  from  the  “sweating”  of  vegetables  during  warm  days. 

Buildings  for  this  purpose  may  be  built  either  above  ground,  or  entirely  or  partly 
below  the  surface.  The  Vitrified  Blocks  are  impervious  and  will  not  absorb  moisture, 
therefore  can  be  used  in  the  ground  and  will  keep  the  building  dry.  For  buildings 
partly  or  entirely  below  ground,  we  can  furnish  an  arched  tile  roof,  built  of  our  Vitri- 
fied Glazed  Silo  Blocks,  which  are  curved  and  make  the  finest  kind  of  an  arched  roof; 
these  silo  blocks  are  vitrified  and  glazed,  just  like  the  Building  Blocks. 

Our  Farm  Buildings  Department  will  be  glad  to  help  you  plan  a storage  house  for 
your  needs,  and  explain  its  construction,  including  the  arched  tile  roof

Poultry  Houses 


Every  poultry  raiser  wants  liens  to  lay  when  prices  are  high.  To  get  the  mini- 
mum egg  production  in  cold  weather,  you  must  have  a good  poultry  house.  It  must 
be  warm,  light,  well  ventilated,  free  from  mites  and  pests. 

An  ideal  poultry  house  can  be  built  of  Macomb  Vitrified  Glazed  Blocks.  The  hol- 
low air  spaces  in  the  tile  walls  insulate  the  building,  maintaining  an  even  tempera- 
ture; never  gets  too  warm  in  the  day  time  or  too  cold  at  night.  The  Glazed  surface  of 
the  tile  and  the  tight  mortar  joints  furnish  no  lodging  place  for  mites,  and  rats  or 
other  destructive  pests  cannot  gnaw  their  way  through. 

Ventilation  is  provided 
by  means  of  amply  large 
windows  in  the  front  of 
the  building.  These  win- 
dows may  be  of  glass,  ar- 
ranged so  as  to  open  to  ad- 
mit as  much  air  as  desired; 
or  the  window  openings 
may  be  screened,  or  cov- 
ered with  muslin. 


For  the  floor,  in  build- 
ings for  hens  and  older 
chicks,  we  recommend  a 
tile  floor  4 inches  thick, 
with  1 inch  of  concrete  on 
top  of  the  tile.  This  keeps 
the  floor  perfectly  dry  and 
warm,  and  is  an  ideal 
scratching  floor,  through 
which  rats  and  other  pests 
cannot  burrow.

A.  C.  Rust,  Hardin,  Mo.  Poultry  netting  extends 
across  the  window  openings. 


For  the  floor  of  incubator  and  brooder  rooms,  we  recommend  using  glazed  tile, 
which  may  be  more  easily  and  more  thoroughly  cleaned,  keeping  the  sanitary  condi- 
tion to  the  highest  possible  standard,  for  the  health  of  the  small  chicks. 


Care  should  be  taken  to  arrange  all  fixtures  so  that  all  parts  of  the  building  may 
be  thoroughly  cleaned  at  regular  intervals.  It  is  well  to  have  the  roost  perches  so 
built  that  they  can  be  removed,  for  cleaning  the  dropping  floor.  One  plan  which  has 
several  advantages  is  to  suspend  the  entire  fixtures,  roosts,  nest,  etc.,  from  the  raft- 
ers; by  this  plan  none  of  the  fixtures  touch  the  wall,  which  aids  in  keeping  down  ver- 
min. 


Smoke  Houses 

In  a smoke  house  built  of  Macomb  Glazed  Blocks,  you  can  cure 
meats  in  the  good  old-fashioned  way  that  insures  such  a fine  flavor. 
All  danger  of  fire  is  eliminated.  The  Glazed  tile  walls  are  easily 
kept  clean,  and  in  a sanitary  condition.  The  building  makes  a good 
store  room  for  meats  during  the  entire  winter.  Can  be  made  either 
square  or  round.

Creamery  Buildings 


If  there  is  one  building  more  than  others  that  needs 
to  be  always  clean  and  sanitary,  it  is  a creamery.  Ma- 
comb Building  Blocks  are  ideal  for  this  purpose.  Being 
Vitrified  and  Glazed  the  tile  walls  cannot  absorb  odors 
which  might  affect  the  quality  of  the  product.  The 
smooth  glazed  surface  of  the  walls  may  be  easily  washed 
down  and  kept  absolutely  clean  at  all  times.  The  tight 
mortar  joints,  made  possible  by  the  double  wall  feature 
of  our  block,  leaves  no  cracks  where  dirt  or  germs  may 
collect.  The  hollow  air  spaces  in  the  walls  give  an  even  temperature  in  the  building,  cooler  in 
summer  and  warmer  in  winter  than  a building  of  any  other  material.

Vitrified  Glazed  Blocks  are  being  used  exten- 
sively in  many  parts  of  the  country,  for  elevators 
and  storage  tanks  for  grain.  The  entire  plant  may 
be  built  of  Vitrified  Glazed  Blocks,  the  regular 
Building  Blocks  being  used  for  the  walls  of  the 
head  house,  machinery  room,  and  all  buildings;  the 
storage  tanks  and  grain  bins  are  built  of  the  curved 
Silo  Blocks,  also  Vitrified  and  Glazed.  This  makes 
a fireproof  plant,  of  attractive  and  pleasing  appear- 
ance. and  the  smooth  glazed  wall  surface  is  a big 
advantage  in  an  elevator.

Garages  and  Machine  Sheds 


Cut  No.  798 — Garage,  C.  A.  Dauvvalter,  Deepwater,  Mo. 

Everyone  realizes  the  importance  of. properly  housing  an  automobile.  A build- 
ing of  our  Glazed  Blocks  is  ideal  for  a garage;  there  is  very  little  inflammable  ma- 
terial about  the  building,  the  danger  from  fire  is  reduced  to  a minimum.  The  hol- 
low air  spaces  in  the  tile  walls  keep  the  building  dry  and  warm,  protecting  the  mo- 
tor against  freezing.  In  a building  of  Macomb  Vitrified  Glazed  Blocks,  it  is  never 
necessary  to  drain  the  radiator,  except  in  the  very  coldest  weather. 

These  blocks  are  also  admirably  adapted  for  machine  sheds  and  tool  houses.  At 
the  present  high  and  increasing  prices  of  farm  implements,  one  can  hardly  afford  to 
leave  his  tools  without  the  best  of  protection. 


Residences 


A Hollow  Tile  residence  is  the  most  comfortable  home  that  can  be  built,  as  the 
hollow  air  spaces  in  the  tile  walls  make  the  building  cooler  in  summer  and  warmer  in 
winter  than  walls  of  any  other  material.  In  addition  the  building  is  fire-proof  and 
vermin-proof,  requires  no  paint,  never  needs  repairs,  presents  an  attractive  appear- 
ance, and  is  a permanent  building. 

The  Vitrified  Glazed  Blocks  make  a pleasing  appearance  in  a residence  building, 
and  are  especially  attractive  in  the  bungalow  type  of  house  so  popular  at  the  present 
time.  The  dark  chocolate  color  of  the  blocks,  and  their  smooth  surface,  blend  har- 
moniously with  the  trimming  and  decorations,  with  pleasing  effect.  For  a one  story 
house  of  average  size,  the  6-inch  wall  of  the  Vitrified  Glazed  Blocks  is  amply  strong, 
and  for  larger  buildings  or  for  two  storie  ■,  the  8-inch  block  should  be  used. 


Cut  No.  1341— Residence,  H.  J.  Meierotto, 
Clinton,  Mo. 


Some  people  prefer  a stucco  finish 
for  the  outside  of  a residence,  or  a brick 
veneer.  This  is  a matter  of  taste,  and  we 
can  furnish  tile  for  this  kind  of  wall 
when  desired. 

In  either  case,  plaster  on  the  inside 
of  the  building  is  applied  directly  on  the 
tile. 

The  cost  of  a Hollow  Tile  house  is 
little  if  any  greater  than  any  other  con- 
struction, and  with  its  many  advantages, 
you  should  give  our  material  serious  con- 
sideration.

Vitrified  Building  Blocks  for  Foundations 


Macomb  Vitrified  Building  Blocks  are  admirably  adapted  for  foundations  for  all 
kinds  of  buildings,  either  residences,  farm  buildings  of  any  kind,  or  warehouse  and 
business  buildings. 

Being  Vitrified,  the  blocks  are  impervious,  cannot  absorb  water,  and  therefore 
will  not  scale  off  or  disintegrate,  and  are  unaffected  by  freezing  and  thawing.  They 
will  last  forever  when  used  below  the  surface  of  the  ground,  as  well  as  in  walls  above 
ground. 


Where  a basement  under  the  building  is  desired,  the  blocks  are  particularly  de- 
sirable, as  they  insure  a warm,  dry  basement  absolutely  shutting  out  all  dampness, 
and  keep  an. even  temperature,  cooler  in  summer  and  warmer  in  winter  than  any 
other  kind  of  wall. 

Building  Blocks  lay  up  very  rapidly,  and  make  an  economical  foundation  wall. 
Their  cost  compares  favorably  with  any  other  material  used  for  this  purpose.  The 
square  blocks  tit  into  the  wall  easily  and  quickly;  no  breaking  to  tit  as  with  stone, 
and  no  form  work  necessary  as  is  the  case  with  concrete  foundations. 

For  ordinary  buildings,  a foundation  wall  8 inches  thick,  built  of  the  8x8x16 
blocks,  is  amply  strong.  For  some  large  residences,  we  have  built  a foundation  wall 
• 12  inches  thick,  made  by  placing  an  8 x 8 x 16  and  a 4 x 8 x 16  block  side  by  side,  al- 
ternating the  courses  to  break  joints  and  tie  the  wall  together. 


Where  extra  strength  is  re- 
quired in  a foundation  wall,  piers 
or  pilasters  may  be  built  as  re- 
quired, out  of  the  blocks  them- 
selves, by  using  corner  blocks  which 
have  the  openings  running  vertical, 
and  tilling  them  with  concrete. 
This  makes  a solid  post  16  inches 
square,  in  which  reinforcing  rods 
may  be  run  if  desired.  A detail 
sketch  on  page  28  shows  how  the 
blocks  are  laid  up  to  form  these 
pilasters.

Vitrified  Drain  Tile  Around  Foundation 


Where  a foundation  encloses  a basement  a Macomb  Vitrified 
tile  drain  should  be  laid  around  the  footing  of  the  foundation  wall 
to  prevent  dampness  in  the  basement.  This  should  be  done  whether 
the  wall  is  Hollow  Tile,  Concrete  or  Stone.  Our  4-inch  Vitrified  Drain 
Tile  is  laid  with  open  joints  outside  the  wall,  draining  to  an  outlet 
on  lower  ground  or  into  an  underground  gravel  sink  pit.  This  method 
avoids  flooding  of  basement  floor  and  disagreeable  dampness.

Building  Blocks  for  the  Town 


Macomb  Vitrified  Glazed  Building  Blocks  are  used  in  town  as  well  as  in  the  coun- 
try, for  foundations,  for  residences  and  small  garages,  as  well  as  for  store  and  busi- 
ness buildings,  warehouses  and  garage  buildings.  The  glazed  blocks  have  been  re- 
ceived with  special  favor  for  public  garage  buildings,  a large  number  being  built  of 
our  blocks. 

The  Vitrified  Glazed  Blocks  present  a neat  and  pleasing  appearance  in  the  fin- 
ished wall,  and  make  an  attractive,  serviceable  building,  of  permanent  construction, 
at  an  economical  expense.

For  garages,  warehouses,  etc.,  it  is  easy  to  arrange  a building  50  to  75  feet  wide, 
with  no  posts  in  the  interior  of  the  building  to  cut  up  the  floor  space.  This  is  done 
by  using  trusses  or  steel  girders  to  carry  the  weight  of  the  roof,  leaving  the  entire 
lioor  space  clear  and  unobstructed.  The  ends  of  these  girders  or  trusses  are  supported 
by  piers  or  pilasters,  built  out  of  the  blocks  themselves.  A detail  sketch  on  page  31 
shows  how  the  blocks  are  laid  up  to  form  these  pilasters.  By  running  reinforcing 
rods  in  these  pilasters  they  can  be  made  as  strong  as  required.  They  have  been  used 
for  a 50  foot  span,  without  any  reinforcing  steel  in  the  pilasters.

Keep  Walls  Clean 


Care  should  be  taken  in  laying  up 
walls  of  these  Glazed  Building  Blocks, 
to  avoid  getting  mortar  stains  on  the 
surface  of  the  blocks.  Mortar  spots  or 
streaks  where  the  mortar  has  run 
down  from  the  joint  above,  spoil  the 
appearance  of  the  building,  and  this 
can  easily  be  avoided  by  using  care, 
by  having  the  mortar  quite  thick  or 
stiff,  so  that  it  will  not  run  easily,  and 
by  wiping  off  the  surface  of  each 
course  of  blocks  as  it  is  laid,  using  a 
piece  of  gunny  sack,  old  carpet  or 
heavv  cloth.

Contrast  the  appearance  of  the  nice  clean  build- 
ing at  the  top  of  the  page  with  that  of  the  building 
below.  In  the  lower  building  the  mason  was  not 
careful,  and  the  result  is  the  building  looks  spotted, 
and  the  owner  did  not  get  as  nice  or  attractive  a 
building  as  he  would  have  if  the  mortar  was  wiped 
off  the  blocks.

Mortar  stains  can  be  removed  from  the  blocks 
after  the  building  is  completed,  by  using  muriatic 
acid,  applied  with  a stiff  scrub  brush.  Commercial 
muriatic  acid  can  be  obtained  from  any  drug  store 
at  a small  expense,  and  cuts  the  mortar  spots  off 
quite  easily.  The  muriatic  acid  should  not  be  placed 
in  a tin  vessel.

Best  Results  Obtained  With  Colored  Mortar 


A pleasing  effect  is  obtained  by  using  a dark  gray,  brown  or  black  mortar.  This 
adds  much  in  appearance  and  will  assist  in  keeping  the  wall  clean.

Details  of  Construction 


We  are  showing  herewith 
some  of  the  general  details  of 
construction  of  buildings  from 
Macomb  Vitrified  Glazed 
Building  Blocks. 

If  any  other  points  come 
up  in  connection  with  any 
building  that  you  are  planning 
we  will  be  glad  to  have  you 
write  us  fully,  and  we  will  ex- 
plain the  best  method  of  con- 
struction. 

In  starting  to  lay  the 
blocks  in  the  wall  of  a build- 
ing, we  recommend  that  the 
mason  first  lay  the  first  course 
of  blocks  along  on  top  of  the 
foundation,  loose  'without  mor- 
tar joints,  and  space  the  blocks 
so  as  to  come  out  even  at  the 
ends  of  the  wall.  He  can  then 
vary  his  mortar  joints,  making 
them  narrower  or  wider  as 
may  be  necessary,  to  make  the 
blocks  come  out  even  at  the 
corners  of  the  building  and 
next  to  openings.

With  a little  practice,  a mason  soon  becomes  proficient  in  laying  the  blocks,  and  can 
put  them  up  rapidly.  In  nearly  all  communities  there  are  now  masons  who  have  had  expe- 
rience in  laying  Hollow  Tile  blocks,  and  we  will  be  glad  to  assist  you  in  securing  the  serv- 
ices of  one  of  these  experienced  men,  who  can  put  your  building  up  in  first-class  shape. 


Care  should  be  taken  to  see  that  the  vertical  mortar  joints  are  tight.  Getting  the  great- 
est amount  of  satisfaction  out  of  a hollow  tile  building  depends  on  having  every  joint  tight, 
and  you  should  therefore  watch  the  mason,  and  see  that  he  gets  the  joints  well  filled  with 
mortar.  If  there  are  any  joints  left  open  aftw  the  wall  is  finished,  he  should  go  back  over 

them  and  point  them  up,  and  see  that  every  joint  is  com- 
pletely filled  with  mortar,  from  the  bottom  to  the  top. 
With  the  broad,  double  wall  of  the  block  to  hold  the 
mortar,  it  is  easy  to  get  tight  joints,  by  using  a little 
care  and  plenty  of  mortar.

Vitrified  Salt  Glazed  Building  Blocks 


I he  Block  shown  at  the  left,  that  is  used  for  the  walls,  is  the  regular  8x8x16 
block,  having  openings  running  horizontally. 

The  Block  shown  at  the  right  is  the  Corner  Block,  having  the  openings  running 
vertical;  this  block  is  used  at  the  corners  o “ the  buildings,  and  next  to  windows  and 
door  openings.

be  a basement  below  the  building 
level  of  the  basement  floor. 


Foundations 

Tn  putting  in  foundation  walls  of 
Buildings  Blocks,  it  is  well  to  put  in  a 
concrete  footing  6 inches  or  8 inches 
deep,  to  form  a level  base  on  which  to 
lay  the  first  course  of  blocks.  This  con- 
crete footing  should  lie  about  6 inches 
wider  than  the  thickness  of  the  tile  wall, 
that  is,  extending  out  about  3 inches  on 
each  side  of  the  tile  wall.

This  cut  shows  how  the  corner  blocks  are  used  at  the 
corner  of  the  building.  The  corner  block  lays  in  the  wall 
16  inches  on  one  side  from  the  corner,  and  8 inches  on 
the  other  side.  The  16-inch  dimension  is  laid  in  one  di- 
rection from  the  corner  on  the  first  course,  and  in  the  other  direction  from  the  cor- 
ner on  the  second  course,  thus  breaking  joints  8 inches,  or  just  one-half  the  length  of 
the  block.

Walls  of  6x8x16  Building  Blocks 

In  building  a wall  6 
inches  thick  from  the 
6x8x16  blocks,  the  6 inch 
dimension  of  the  corner 
block  of  course  shows  on 
one  side  of  the  corner  on 
each  course.  To  match 
this  we  make  the  6 inch 
corner  block  for  turning 
the  corner  of  the  wall,  14 
inches  long  instead  of  16 
inches.  This  14  inch  length 
of  corner  block  breaks 
joints  with  the  6 inch 
dimension  on  the  next 
course,  just  8 inches,  or 
one-half  of  the  length  of 
block  in  the  wall.  This  is  illustrated  in  Cut  No.  1648  herewith.

In  order  to  get  a solid  dead  end  wall 
next  to  a window  or  door  opening  with- 
out the  openings  in  the  tile  being  ex- 
posed, the  corner  block  is  used  next  to 
the  window  on  the  first  course,  and  on 
the  alternate  course  a half  length  tile  set 
on  end  is  used.  The  window  frame  is 
then  fitted  up  against  this  solid  end  of 
the  wall,  and  it  is  easy  to  get  a good 
tight  fit  around  the  window.

It  is  necessary  to  use  the  blocks  with 
closed  ends  next  to  openings,  in  order  to 
seal  the  ends  of  the  hollow  air  spaces  in 
the  wall,  to  prevent  circulation  of  air 
into  the  hollow  space  in  the  wall.  Thus 
the  “dead  air”  space  in  the  wall  is 
formed. 

For  the  lintel  above  the  door  or 
window,  the  blocks  are  filled  with  concrete,  in  which  reinforcing  rods  are  run. 
For  an  ordinary  window  or  door  opening,  two  % inch  rods  will  be  sufficient.  See 
detail  on  opposite  page  showing  how  lintels  are  built. 

Of  course  for  lintels  above  extra  wide  doors,  it  necessary  to  use  angle  irons,  or 
steel  of  some  sort,  to  support  the  blocks  above  the  opening.

Lintels  Above  Openings 

For  lintels  across  doors  and  win- 
dows, the  first  course  of  blocks  above 
the  opening  is  filled  with  concrete,  in 
which  reinforcing  rods  are  placed. 

The  top  of  the  block  can  easily  be 
broken  out  as  shown,  by  using  a brick 
hammer;  first  tap  the  block  gently  along 
the  line  where  it  is  to  be  broken,  the  en- 
tire length  of  the  block;  then  hit  it  a 
quick,  sharp  blow  and  it  will  break  along 
this  line.  After  a few  trials  a mason  can. 
break  the  blocks  at  this  point  with  very 
little  danger  of  spoiling  a block. 

The  frame  for  the  window  or  door 
is  set  into  place,  and  this  course  of  lintel 
blocks  laid  on  this  framework  over  the 
opening;  then  the  reinforcing  rods  are 
inserted  in  the  blocks,  and  they  arc- 
poured  full  of  concrete.  For  a wide  door- 
way it  will  of  course  be  necessary  to 
support  the  frame  work  in  the  center  of 
the  opening,  until  the  concrete  has  had  time  to  set. 

The  amount  of  steel  reinforcing  necessary  for  the  lintel  depends  on  the  width  of 
the  opening,  and  on  the  height  of  wall  to  be  supported  above  the  opening.  By  using 
heavy  iron,  a lintel  can  be  built  in  .this  manner  for  almost  any  farm  building.  One  of 
our  customers  used  old  railroad  iron  for  his  wide  doors.  Old  wagon  tires  or  similar 
iron,  which  can  be  used  for  this  purpose,  is  generally  available  around  the  farm,  or 
at  the  local  blacksmith  shop. 

Setting  Ends  of  Joists  into  Tile  Wall 

The  ends  of  the  joists  should  be  set  into  the  tile- 
wall  4 inches,  giving  the  joists  4 inches  of  bearing  on 
tile  wall.  A tile  4 inches  thick  (4x8x16)  is  used 
at  the  ends  of  the  joists,  so  as  to  form  a smooth  un- 
broken tile  wall  on  the  outside  of  the  building. 

The  space  between  the  ends  of  the  joists  is  then 
filled  in  with  4 inch  blocks,  or  with  brick.  In  case 
of  heavy  floor  load,  corner  blocks  filled  with  concrete 
can  be  used  under  the  ends  of  the  joists,  to  give  a 
better  bearing.

Pilaster  Construction 

For  wide  span  buildings,  where  heavy 
girders  or  trusses  are  needed  to  carry  the  weight 
of  the  roof  or  floor,  piers  or  pilasters  to  support 
the  ends  of  such  girders  are  easily  built  out  of 
the  tile  itself,  by  using  corner  blocks,  which 
have  the  openings  running  vertical,  and  filling 
them  with  concrete.  The  cut  herewith  shows 
how  the  tile  are  laid  in  the  wall  to  form  the 
pilaster;  each  course  of  blocks  forming  the 
pilaster  should  be  tilled  with  concrete  as  laid, 
forming  a solid  post  16  inches  square.  Rein- 
forcing rods  may  be  run  in  this 
concrete  if  necessary,  but  the 
pilaster  itself  will  carry  a con- 
siderable weight  without  any 


steel.  Buildings  50  feet  wide 
have  been  built  without  putting 
any  steel  reinforcing  in  the  pi- 
laster. 


Porch  Columns 


Attractive  Porch  Columns  or  posts  can  be  built  out  of  the  Corner 
Blocks;  simply  alternating  the  courses  as  shown  in  the  sketch  herewith, 
makes  a post  16  inches  square. 

In  case  a heavy  second  story  structure  is  to  be  supported  by  the 
porch  posts,  they  may  be  poured  full  of  concrete,  making  a solid  post  16 
inches  square,  which  will  carry  considerable  weight.

Fastening  Plate  to  Top  of  the  Wall 

For  fastening  the  plate  to  the  top  of 
the  tile  wall,  a good  plan  is  to  place 
corner  blocks  'about  every  5th  or  6th 
block  in  the  top  course  of  tile  in  the 
wall.  These  corner  blocks  have  the 
openings  running  vertical,  and  after  be- 
ing laid  in  the  wall  they  are  tilled  with 
concrete,  %-inch  bolts  should  be  placed 
in  the  concrete  as  it  is  poured  into  these 
blocks;  bolts  with  large  heads  should  be 
used,  or  the  lower  end  of  the  bolt  may  be 
bent  over  to  form  a hook.  The  bolt 
should  be  long  enough  to  extend  up 
through  the  timber  plate  placed  along 
the  top  of  the  tile  wall,  and  on  the  upper 
end  of  the  bolt  place  a large  washer,  and 
screw  the  nut  down  tight.

Ventilators  or  Fresh  Air  Inlets 


The  sketch  herewith  shows  how  the  Fresh  Air  Inlets  are 
built  into  the  tile  wall.  These  ventilators  may  be  placed  as 
close  together  as  necessary,  along  the  entire  length  of  the  stable 
wall,  in  order  to  provide  plenty  of  fresh  air. 

Notice  the  air  enters  the  conduit  on  the  outside  of  the  wall* 
near  the  ground,  and  comes  out  on  the  inside  of  the  wall  near 
the  top,  thus  avoiding  drafts. 

Using  a 4 inch  block  (4x8x16)  on  the  inside  surface  of 
the  wall  at  the  inlet  of  the  conduit,  leaves  an  opening  into  the 
conduit,  and  a 4 inch  tile  placed  on  the  outside  surface  of  the 
wall  in  the  same  manner  forms  an  outlet  from  the  conduit. 
Using  corner  block  (having  the  opening  running  vertical)  in 
the  intervening  course,  forms  an  unobstructed  passageway  for 
the  air  to  enter  the  building. 

The  height,  or  distance  between  the  inlet  and  outlet,  may 
be  made  as  high  as  desired. 


Vitrified  Unglazed  Blocks'” 


Cut  No.  831. 


From  time  to  time  we  accumulate  some  of  the  Macomb  Vitrified  Building  Blocks 
that  are  not  glazed.  These  unglazed  blocks  are  thoroughly  vitrified,  will  not  absorb 
water,  and  are  good  serviceable  material,  differing  from  the  glazed  blocks  only  in  that 
they  have  failed  to  take  the  salt  glaze  in  burning.  They  of  course  do  not  look  as  well 
as  the  glazed  blocks,  on  account  of  not  having  the  glazed  finish  on  the  outside. 

These  Vitrified  Unglazed  Blocks  we  can  of  course  sell  at  a lower  price,  and  for 
many  uses  they  are  practically  as  good  as  the  Glazed  Blocks.  This  is  the  grade  gen- 
erally used  for  foundations,  below  the  surface  of  the  ground,  and  for  any  buildings 
where  appearance  is  not  as  important  as  service,  they  are  entirely  satisfactory.  The 
unglazed  blocks  themselves  make  a good  looking  building,  but  do  not  have  the  rich 
appearance  of  the  glazed  blocks. 


Fire  Clay  Flue  Lining 


Every  chimney  should  be  lined 
with  Macomb  Fire  Clay  Flue  Lin- 
ing. This  flue  lining  is  made  from 
fire  clay,  which  is  not  affected  by 
the  heat,  and  serves  to  confine  all 
the  fire  within  the  chimney,  elimi- 
c nating  the  danger  of  fire  getting  out

Over  twenty  per  cent  of  all  residence  fires  in  the  Lhiited  States  are  caused  by 
defective  flues.  By  lining  the  chimney  with  our  Clay  Flue  Lining,  the  danger  of  fire 
from  this  source  is  absolutely  eliminated.

destructive  elements  acting  on  an  exposed  wall.  The  Vitrified  body  is  imperishable 
and  the  Salt  Glazed  surface  is  impervious  to  moisture  and  gases.  It  is  superior  to 
stone  or  concrete  coping  and  is  the  cheapest  permanent  coping  obtainable.  We  make 
Coping  to  fit  8-inch  Building  Block  Wall  and  9-inch,  13-incli  or  18-inch  Brick  Walls. 
Straight  Coping  is  2 ft.  long.  We  can  furnish  Wall  Coping  fittings  for  various

“The  Fruit  Jar  of  the  Field” 


This  booklet  on  Farm  Building  Blocks  would 
hardly  be  complete  without  mention  of  the  Dickey 
Glazed  Hollow  Tile  Silos. 

The  United  States  Government  usually  buys 
the  best,  and  they  always  investigate  thoroughly. 

In  July,  1916,  the  Quartermaster  of  the  United 
States  Disciplinary  Barracks  at  Ft.  Leavenworth, 
Ivans.,  decided  the  Government  could  save  money 
by  using  silos,  as  they  keep  a large  number  of 
dairy  cows.  The  result  was,  we  received  the  Gov- 
ernment’s order  for  a 16x40  DICKEY  GLAZED 
HOLLOW  TILE  SILO.  Same  was  erected  and 
used  during  the  fall  and  winter  of  1916-  T7,  with 
such  satisfactory  results  that  in  August,  1917,  they 
placed  their  order  with  our  company  for  two  more 
Dickey  Glazed  Tile  Silos,  16x40,  and  these  have 
been  erected  and  filled',  and  it  is  the  intention  of 
the  Quartermaster  to  build  more  of  these  dividend 
payers. 

We  also  sold  two  16x40  DICKEY  GLAZED 
TILE  SILOS  to  the  U.  S.  Govt,  in  1917,  for  use 
at  the  National  Soldiers’  Home  at  Leavenworth, 
Ivans. 


Your  silage  will  be  preserved  in  perfect  condition 
if  properly  put  in  the  silo,  and  the  silo  will  he  a per- 
manent improvement,  with  no  expense  for  paint  or 
repairs,  and  will  be  an  attractive  addition  to  your 
group  of  farm  buildings. 

Let  us  send  your  our  booklet  on  the  “Dickey  Silo.” 


The  U.  S.  Govt,  also  placed  an  order  under  date  May  28,  1917,  for  a 16x40 
Dickey  Glazed  Tile  Silo  for  the  Haskell  Institute 
at  Lawrence,  Ivans.  This  makes  six  Dickey  Silos 
sold  the  Govt,  in  territory  tributary  to  Kansas  City 
in  a little  over  a year’s  time. 

The  picture  above  shows  the  1916  Dickey  Glazed 
Tile  Silo  erected  at  Ft.  Leavenworth. 

Our  Silo  is  built  of  Vitrified  Glazed  Blocks,  simi- 
lar to  our  building  blocks.  The  silo  blocks  have  the 
same  double  wall  design,  making  air  tight  .mortar 
joints  possible.  When  carefully  built  in  accordance 
with  our  instructions.

Is  Your  Home  Sanitary  and  Your  Water  Supply  Safe? 


Science  has  demonstrated  that  the  farm 
communities  are  ravaged  by  Typhoid, 
Dysentery  and  Hook  Worm  more  than  the 
city  sections,  because  of  neglect  and  bad 
sanitary  conditions.  These  destroying 
diseases  have  their  origin  entirely  in  human 
wastes  and  are  entirely  preventable  through 
Sanitation.  Thousands  of  deaths  from 
Typhoid,  millions  of  cases  of  Hook  Worm  and  a like  proportion  of  Dysentery  cases 
involving  millions  of  dollars  in  expense  and  losses  through  lowered  vitality  and 
efficiency  are  the  toll  paid  by  our  rural  communities  annually. 


EACH  SECTION  IS  2 FEET  b INCHES  LONG  AND  24  INCHES  INSIDE  DIAMETER 

SECTION  THROUGH  SEPTIC  TANK 


Any  good  farmer  knows  that  he  wouldn’t  put  his  pedigreed  hogs  in  a pen  where 
filth  might  l?e  responsible  for  their  getting  hog  cholera.  Yet  he  will  run  the  risk  of 
his  entire  family  getting  sick  by  constantly  exposing  them  to  the  dangerous  old  style 
open  privy. 

The  ever  increasing  demand  for  lavatory  and  closet  accommodations,  in  busi- 
ness and  public  buildings,  as  well  as  bath  rooms  in  private  homes,  makes  sewage  dis- 
posal a vital  feature  in  every  building  that  is  up  to  date  in  its  equipment. 


Dickey  Septic  Sewage  Disposal  Tanks  put  an  army  of  harmless  Bacteria  at  work 
destroying  disease  germs,  purifying  and  disposing  of  sewage,  and  removing  the  dan- 
ger of  disease  transfer.  Our  Patented  Septic  Tanks  eliminate  the  obnoxious  and 
unsanitary  open  privy  and  work  automatically,  requiring  very  little  attention.  Write 
for  complete  details. 


Disease  Lurks  in  Many  a Well 


STRATA 


This  startling  demonstration  showed 
the  danger  from  foul  seepage  originat- 
ing in  the  barn  yard  or  from  privy,  cess- 
pool or  leaching  pool. 

We  make  the  most  practical  and 
permanent  lining  for  use  in  wells  or 
springs.  Our  Vitrified  Salt  Glazed  Well 
Pipe  should  line  all  wells  or  springs  ex- 
tending from  above  the  ground  down  to 
the  water,  cemented  joints  making  a 
smooth  water  tight  tube,  with  a water 
tight  cover  to  keep  out  all  filth  and  seep- 
age. This  Vitrified  Glazed  Well  Pipe  is 
best  because  it  does  not  rust,  rot,  disin- 
tegrate, provide  lodging  for  moss  or 
change  the  taste  of  the  water.

Cut  No.  959 — Showing  how  our  Vitrified  Salt  Glazed 
Well  Pipe  keeps  out  polluted  seepage. 





A common ' finding  of  the  U.  S.  Health  investigators  in  a recent  survey  were 
dug  wells  with  no  casing  or  lining— just  a hole  in  the  ground  reaching  down  to 
water.  A test  was  made  on  one  of  these 
farms,  using  a green  liquid  in  a place 
where  human  waste  was  regularly  dis- 
posed of,  and  within  two  hours  the  water 
in  a spring  600  feet  away  was  discolored.

Stop  the  Leaks  and  Losses  on  Your  Farm 


Insure  Your  Crops  with  Vitrified 
Drain  Tile 


Vitrified  Drain  Tile  with  Open  Joints. 

Drainage  of  wet  land  or  land  which  does  not  produce  satisfactorily  will,  where  the  ele- 
ments of  fertility  are  in  the  soil,  yield  surprisingly  increased  crops,  advance  the  land  values 
and  rid  the  farm  of  unhealthy  and  unsightly  bogs  and  marshy  spots.  This  is  not  a theory, 
but  has  been  demonstrated  in  all  sections  of  tire  country,  as  shown  by  hundreds  of  letters 
we  have  received  from  users  of  our  Vitrified  Drain  Tile. 


Drain  file  makes  wet  land  tillable,  prepares  the  soil  for  cultivation  earlier  in  the  spring, 
and  makes  it  warmer  by  several  degrees ; makes  possible  deeper  rootings  and  larger  access 
to  necessary  plant  foods;  helps  prevent  soil  baking  and  clod  formation;  tends  to  eliminate 
chance  by  insuring  crops  in  a favorable,  wet  or  dry  season,  prevents  soil  wash  and  the  loss 
of  the  soluble  and  most  fertile  elements  of  your  land ; increases  crops  twenty  to  fifty  per 
cent  or  more  in  quantity  and  improves  the  quality. 

Remember  it  costs  no  more  to  install  Dickey  Vitrified  Hard  Burned  Clay  Tile,  which 
will  last  forever,  than  it  does  to  install  the  inferior  kind  which  will  disintegrate  and  cause 
trouble  later.

A Soil  Saving  Dam  catches  the  top 
soil  washed  Irom  the  fields  — also 
stores  the  surplus  water. 


in'  your  fields  reduce 
land  values,  produce  no 
crops,  increase  taxes, 
and  hinder  all  opera- 
tions of  cultivation  and

from  year  to  year. 

A Soil  Saving  Dam 
holds  the  washed  soil 
and  refills  the  ditch  or 
gulley,  saving  the  rich 
top  soil,  and  replaces 
the  cut-up  field  with 
continuous  acreage  eas- 
ily cultivated.  A few 

joints  of  Vitrified  Salt  Glazed  Pipe  and  an  earth  dam  are  required.  The  rains  do  the  rest.

ways. Our  Vitrified,  Salt  Glazed  Culvert  Pipe  is  easily  installed  and  when  properly  placed 
is  in  to  stay.  This  pipe  will' not  rust,  rot,  decay  or  disintegrate.  We  will  help  you  deter- 
mine the  size  and  plan  the  culvert.

The  convenience  of 
Hound  Barns  is  coming  to 
be  generally  recognized. 

Practical  floor  ar- 
rangement is  readily  ac- 
complished and  a variety 
of  floor  plans  may  be 
chosen  from.  In  addition 
to  this,  the  silo  can  be 
located  in  the  center  of 
the  barn,  facilitating  the 
feeding  process  and  reduc- 
ing the  labor.  Modern  barn 
equipment  can  be  adjusted 
to  the  round  design  as 
readily  as  to  the  rectangu- 
lar shaped  barn.  Macomb 
Vitrified  Hollow  Building 
Blocks  are  the  proper  and 
permanent  material  for 
this  style  of  construction. 


Cut  No.  1649 — Round  Barn,  60  feet  in  diameter,  owned  by  A.  J. 
King,  Grandview,  Mo.  Built  of  8x8x16  in.  Vitrified  Glazed  Building 
Blocks.  A Dickey  Glazed  Hollow  Tile  Silo  stands  in  the  center 
of  the  barn  with  its  roof  extending  above  the  roof  of  the  barn.
